Martin Ray Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2020, 750ml

Classic Oakville, with a propensity to age, this wine’s depth is built on a foundation of distinct terroir, vibrant acidity and lush tannins.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon from volcanic benchland vineyards in the heart of Napa Valley east of the Mayacamas Range.

Fermented in small 4-6 ton open top fermenters, with thrice daily pump overs for cap management. Upon finishing fermentation the wine is allowed to rest on its skins for up to a month. Aged in 40% new French oak for 18 months.

Tasting Note:

Complex and focused with satiny layers of marionberry, fresh macerated blackberries, surrounding a core of leather, tobacco leaf and clove. Fervent, with fine-grained tannins, and subtle notes of lemon thyme and caramel. Strikingly fresh throughout, with a long, rich finish.
